Classic Plaster Alternative
Polure classic plaster alternative elements offer high-definition architectural moldings and moldings that eliminate the fragility, heavy weight, and cracking associated with traditional gypsum plaster. Engineered from high-density rigid polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³), these lightweight alternatives provide wood-like mechanical durability while ensuring rapid, safe surface mounting. Their closed-cell structure keeps water absorption under 1%, preventing the moisture damage, crumbling, and mold growth common to gypsum in humid bathrooms or kitchens. Rated B2 for fire safety, they remain dimensionally stable between -100 °C / +80 °C. Factory-coated with a white acrylic technical primer, they accept standard topcoats smoothly. Installation involves surface prep, applying continuous PU assembly adhesive on contact edges, securing with countersunk screws, filling holes with acrylic putty, and sanding smooth before painting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose Polure classic plaster alternative over traditional gypsum plaster?
Polure classic plaster alternative is made from high-density rigid polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³), making it lightweight, impact-resistant, non-fragile, and completely moisture-proof compared to gypsum.
Is the classic plaster alternative suitable for humid spaces?
Yes. With water absorption under 1%, it will not absorb moisture, swell, crumble, or breed mold in bathrooms or kitchens.
How is the classic plaster alternative installed?
Installation requires applying continuous polyurethane assembly adhesive on contact surfaces combined with mechanical countersunk screws into framing.
Can silicone adhesive be used for classic plaster alternative installation?
No, silicone adhesive is strictly prohibited because it lacks structural bonding strength. Polyurethane assembly adhesive along with screws must be used.
